It certainly appears that the Texas Longhorns have come to a fork in the road, and now more than ever, head coach Tom Herman’s team needs to figure out who they are and which direction this season is heading.
One path — the path some may believe the Longhorns are already traveling — will force the wheels to fall off as Texas falls short again, and possibly again and again, ultimately falling short of every goal the Horns entered the season with.
The other path, perhaps, leads back to Arlington.
Each option is still well within the realm of possibility, and the simple reality is that at this point, neither outcome would come as too much of a surprise.
